TJ Dawe has comedic whirling dervish Kerry Ipema bringing all our favorite characters to life as they brunch, banter, argue, support each other and swoon over men and Manolos. Tickets are $17-$22 Reserved Seating.http://www.baycityarea.com/cwt/External/WCPages/WCEvents/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1917Fri, 07 Oct 2016 12:36:57 GMTLATE NITE CATECHISM 3/3/2017 7:00 PM - 3/4/2017 Late Nite Catechism Is, an uproarious piece of theater that takes audience members back - sometimes nostalgically, sometimes fearfully to the children they once were. The irrepressible Sister teaches an adult catechism class to a roomful of “students”(the audience). Over the course of the play, Sister goes from benevolent instructor, rewarding the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the- dark rosaries and laminated saint cards, to authoritative drill sergeant. These abrupt mood swings are bound to strike a resonant chord with everyone who survived the ups and downs of going to school, with an omniscient authoritarian at the helm. Tickets are $27-$32 Reserved Seatinghttp://www.baycityarea.com/cwt/External/WCPages/WCEvents/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1916Fri, 07 Oct 2016 12:36:54 GMTBillet Appreciation Night 3/3/2017 7:05 PM - 3/3/2017 9:35 PMSaginaw Spirit Home Game Vs.

We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker, National Safety Speaker: Dr. Todd Conklin, who will present An Introduction to the New Human Performance Safety Theory. This theory invites administration, management and workers to come together to look at systems that lead to failures and accidents and make changes before the failures occur. Conklin practices these ideas not only in his own workplace, but also in the event investigations at other workplaces around the world. Conklin defines safety at his workplace like this: “Safety is the ability for workers to be able to do work in a varying and unpredictable world.” This is a great opportunity to bring your entire team to join us at the Great Hall to hear the powerful safety message he will deliver.http://www.baycityarea.com/cwt/External/WCPages/WCEvents/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=2093Fri, 10 Feb 2017 19:52:15 GMTStory Hour: Little Cloud 3/16/2017 9:30 AM - 3/16/2017 12:00 PMCome spend an hour learning about nature!

An elaboration of a "10-minute painting," this leisurely-paced class will also help participants appreciate the ideas of immediacy and abstraction through practice. The medium used will be acrylic paint on canvas, and participants will be able to take their creations home with them at the end!
This activity is provided free of charge to children ages 15 and under, and is free with regular admission for anyone over 15 ($3 for students or seniors; $5 for adults). Please note that the number of participants is capped at 20, and that young children must be accompanied by an adult. As such, RSVP's are encouraged, though not required. To do so, please contact Eric Birkle, Associate Curator of Arts & Education at ebirkle@saginawartmuseum.org. All art materials will be supplied by the museum.

Most logs moved through Midland County on their way to Saginaw sawmills. We’ll investigate traces of a time when brave river hogs battled the elements (and each other) on our local streams.
